What We Do

TOGETHER WE ACHIEVE MORE

Together, we’re building a strong community -- where our kids thrive, our seniors are healthy in their own homes and everyone has access to nutritious food. Every day our community is growing and changing -- from the ambitious new development in downtown Allentown to Easton center square to the many thriving suburban and rural areas.

But, our region also faces challenges. United Way has assessed the needs and is devoted to rallying our community around these challenges and turning them into opportunities for everyone living, working and learning here. When one of us wins, we all win. We are committed to serving you and everyone in this community.

I was able to complete my project under budget
"Thank you for the grant money. It made my project of a Gaga pit at Bethany Church much easier to complete. I was able to complete my project under budget and will be sending a check back to TeenWorks for $300. Hopefully someone else can benefit from the money."
